Today, I approached these three to ask them questions for my photojournalism class.
Tessa Fitzgerald got her singing voice from her great aunt, Ella. She's been a singer her whole life, but is quick to admit that her musical talent ends there. Fitzgerald would take a guitar with her to the island, saying that she would enjoy the time to learn an instrument. However, in the real world, paying the bills is more important. She walks into the Bellis Fair Mall to pick up several job applications. “My biggest regret is not following my dreams,” says Fitzgerald. She hopes to transfer to Western Washington University to study theater and vocal performance.
If Carley MacDonald went to a deserted island, she would bring a machete. “I'd kill my food and eat it,” she says as she brandishes an invisible weapon in Target's food court. MacDonald killed a squirrel when it bit her once. A sophomore in high school, MacDonald says that she has felt threatened by others. For this reason, she plans on obtaining a concealed weapons permit when she turns 21.
Justin Kerzman is a self-diagnosed workaholic. He inhales cigarette smoke through stained teeth, fidgeting with his cell phone. Kerzman relies heavily on his phone, balancing his job at a telecommunications store and doing financial work for a Canadian debt collector, “I like my jobs, they keep me out of trouble...all kinds of trouble.” If Kerzman headed to a deserted island, his phone would come with him, keeping him connected with his jobs.
